There are just too many things I want to do art wise right now. I have really been enjoying photo-manipulation lately. Almost all of my art time is either devoted to that or photo editing. I have actually been really focusing on photography lately. That being said I have started another baby portrait and am enjoying the feeling of pencil in between the fingers. I haven't done much for digital painting. I still haven't got the hang of my tablet and am a bit intimidated with it. However, I think once this baby portrait I am going to give it another go. I have an idea that I have been wanting to do for a while now.

I have been using a lot of textures lately, both in photography and art. I'm kind of addicted really. I have also found making them is fun, so you can probably expect to see more of them also. All I need to do is find more time for art....

Originally I said I was going to do it all in GIMP. I have since changed my mind and am just going to leave it to digital art in general.

Completed so far: 6 out of 100

So I am now 4 days over my due date and I am getting impaitent waiting for my little boy to come out.

Art these days is difficult.
1) I don't want to start anything because I don't know when I will have to leave if for who knows how long.

2) Sitting and drawing for too long is uncomfortable.

Is it bad that I want to have this baby so I can be on my way to get back to art again?

Right now I have a couple of digital art I would like to finish (I may just work on one today...) and I have a lot of idea's I would would like to start work on.

I also want to do some more portraits. I think I have my next baby one picked out, but I think I also want to do another celebrity one. Probably is, I have no idea who to draw. Any suggestions for a reference pictures?

Well to learn Gimp better and to improve on my digital art skills I have decided to do the 100 Themes Challenge from
